This week, the Back in Time Brothers—DJ Paulie and Brother Lou—are taking you back to the height of the 1980s culture wars. We are diving deep into the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) and the infamous "Filthy Fifteen." Remember when Tipper Gore took on Twisted Sister and Prince? We’re revisiting the Senate hearings, the birth of the "Parental Advisory" sticker, and counting down the top tracks that shocked Capitol Hill, from Madonna and AC/DC to the song that started it all: Prince’s Darling Nikki.
But the controversy doesn't stop at the music. In this packed episode, we also cover:
• Movies: Say hello to our little friend! We revisit the 1983 cult classic Scarface. We discuss Al Pacino’s performance, the dried milk used as cocaine, the "chainsaw" scene that shocked audiences, and how the film overcame bad reviews to become a hip-hop icon.
• TV: We take a somber look at the tragic "curse" surrounding the cast of Diff'rent Strokes. From Gary Coleman’s financial ruin to the heartbreaking struggles of Dana Plato, we explore the dark side of 80s child stardom.
• Busted: This week’s dumbest criminals include a "mermaid" in Louisiana, an inmate trying to smuggle a feast into prison, and a Russian man who stole an armored tank just to get a bottle of wine.
• Random Facts: Did you know a Samurai could theoretically fax Abraham Lincoln? Or that chainsaws were originally invented for childbirth? We’ve got the facts that will blow your mind.
